Researchers begin testing wind power storage

Energy Northwest announced July 1 that it is testing and evaluating a new system to store excess energy generated from wind farms. The project, currently installed at the Nine Canyon Wind Project in Washington, includes lithium-ion batteries that hold a maximum of 500 kWh of power. Proponents of the project say that these small systems are mobile and can be placed on site at power projects or businesses while being remotely controlled and coordinated.
